THIS CONOCO PHILLIPS SURMONT LOCATION 35 FROM ONE UNIQUE INTERESTING FORT REGION. ABOUT So ConocoPhillips Surmont site is one of the most unique interesting sites around Fort McMurray region. Let's talk about it. Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage 1 Steam Injection Steam is injected into the reservoir horizontally. 2 STEAM CHAMBER & HEAT TRANSFER Steam creates a chamber that heats the bitumen, reducing viscosity. 3 GRAVITY DRAINAGE Heated bitumen and fluids drain downward by gravity to the lower production well. WATER RECYCLE Process is cleaned and reused as practical. WORKER ROLES Skilled workers operate safe, complex systems. UPPER WELL (INJECTOR) Steam is injected into the reservoir. LOWER WELL (PRODUCER) Heated bitumen and fluids drain downward to this well and then up to the surface. SO DOWNWARD UNLIKE SITES MINING, PHILLIPS SITE ASSISTED GRAVITY WHICH STEAM INTO GROUND THAT OIL AND BITUMEN SO EASIER TO BITUMEN GRAVITY TO WELL UP PRODUCE So, this is what it looks like here at Surmont actually ground at site. This is what it looks like inside the steam generator itself, pretty freaking cool. And releasing some of the steam in order and everything else intact. So ConocoPhillips Surmont site is one of the most unique sites in Canada.
